>> on the minutes commissioner kim commissioner ronen commissioner tang the minutes are approved. >> so call >> so call item 3 the adopted fiscal year 2016/17 budget to increase revenues and expenditures by $783,526 - action. >> >> hi. >> good morning cynthia executive director for finance administration the item before you is f 16, 17 we take stock in the revenues and take a look at any expenditures and include them through the budget as you're aware the programs are for the transportation improvement for treasure island we're increasing the budget by seven hundred $783,526 that consists of additional 5 hundred thousand from transportation authority if the mta another 75

thousand and have rolling over a carry over of federal fund if the previous fiscal year to this fiscal year nothing odd other than we're not able to recognize it into this f and reducing the prop k for additional revenues for fiscal year 16, 17 they'll fund staff to develop a draft and final toll system design requirement in addition to running traffic demand modeling the scenarios to complete the parking management plan all the items have gone about the ta board last week and scheduled to be adopted by the ta on april 2017 with that, we're recommending to amend the adopted 2016/17 to increase by $783,526.

>> i'm available to answer any questions. >> great and just a quick question the reduction in prop k a 35 thousand plus rejecttion, however, the chair over there is as much above that can you explain we reduced prop k by 35 thousand the budget is a based on federal and local contributions on the prop k is also included in the budgeted we're you're going sources we're limited and need to use them by an expiration date prop k has a longer expiration time we're not utilizing the prop k appropriation but saving of time they have the longest amount of time. >> the prop k dollars will be

allotted to tell me. >> but we're not going to be spending it this year. >> yes. uh-huh exactly. >> could it reduce this from the tremendous use from last year. >> it is based on what the estimates from the budget we have identified the expenditures for the year and applied the federal revenues that come in the allowable expenditures and applied the contribution now we're politically what is needed to from prop k and also the chair over we could adjust that number but it probably is better to utilities the funds the tida funds are an expiration no, no i understand where we're why we are spending those down the

reduction in prop k is commemorate with the other funds why are we not reducing that further than $35,000. >> why the distribution. >> yeah. a interrelation use in every bucket if we're recurring the prop k expenditures why not further reduce the expenditure this year if that makes sense. >> why not pass the mike to our put their life on the line. >> thank you, ms. wong. >> another change that happened since the first budget we've added additional engineering and canned modeling activities that he so the overall budget need has grown since the first budget was adopted. >> and i apologize for the sake of the public can you explain what the needed expansion of the scope is so we

understand why we're allocating more commissioners, that places you under your. >> on the system and demand side original budget anticipated a draft now take that to the final stage and we're going to start the request for proposals for the system integrate our advancing the conceptual design further what we anticipated. >> does that mean we're doing for work on the front end or more work period for the project and we're doing work we anticipated needed to be done and can be done in an earlier timeframe thank you for explaining. >> thank you very much so at this time open up for public comment on item number 3,

any member of the public that would like to comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. committee can commissioners can we take a motion on item item no. 8 - a motion from comedian and commissioner tang. >> same house, same call? >> yes. same house, same call? thank you thank you very much can we please call item item no. 4 - treasure island mobility management program implementation update - information. >> this is an formation. >> thank you rachel of principle transportation planner this to the to provide you for the committee members an overall the transportation authority program and also describe for you the current activities and what this committee can expect over the next quarters as a as

treasure island mobility management agency the committee and the board is charged with the delivery and the ongoing operation of this transportation called for in the treasure island agreement four goals to the transportation plan described on the plan treasure island is a place where all homes within a 15 minute walk of a hub and increase from the island and where it is possible to live without a car because of the amendments and an ongoing source of operating revenue to fund this new transit and other services the goals of this plan lead back to 2007 that was the first treasure island transportation something like that was adopted with the goals and strategies san francisco county transportation authority was

designated in this role of treasure island mobility management agency in 2014 from the most recent action i actually the most recent time the board met in july 2016 it's the board adopted the preliminary transportation policies for the program and asked to do more work in other policy areas a number of work streams we have ongoing to get a team we're at now and the anticipated date when the first homes will be available on treasure island that guess 2020 and the ultimate date when we expect all 8 thousand new homes to be available for people to live in on treasure island is 2030 or beyond. >> i'm sorry does that include the housing on yerba buena island. >> it includes that.

>> expected to open in 2020 a correct. >> so the goals of the tropical plan and the challenges it needs to address number one, mitigating the effect of all the new residential and land use on the acre range we need to get through the strategies and need to be able to pay for the new regional transit services with a committed fund we know we'll be able to rely on for foreseeable future and then another goal that we have included in response to the feedback from f this body and outreach over the last two years to support the affordable living housing and transportation for the low income rate resident that live on the island but be moving on the island in the future and ultimately the island will be up

to 25 thousand residents that be up 2000 today it is really a large change in the number of residents on the island and others land uses that is visitors and designations owe conference center this is a comprehensive transportation plan so the amount of transit services called for in the plan will make treasure island amongst the most transit assessable neighborhoods and good opportunities increase in muni and ac transit and a muni service that doesn't exist in the east bay and treasure island a great opportunity for that to be a zero emission fleet so working with the air district there is opportunities there for funding with mtc there is funding opportunities to support a clean vessels and festivals to the ferry service

is called for we're working with meta and have an interest in that being a clean vessels whether hyde bred or supported and opportunities that the state cap & trade a reasonable level to seek fund for an initiative type of technology and some of the smaller water and transit services and being able to service treasure island this is a map plan of what those new transportation and transit services will be and in addition to the new transit calls for an array of supporting services transportation for visitors, for employees, and also benefits for royal or retained on island

clarity shuttle between the transit hub and the neighborhoods we have a grant to test and initiative type of circulating shutters that can be hailed by people and car share on the island they don't have resident to get car share not on the island right now and bike share and in addition a transit path that is a mandatory purchase for market-rate resident in the market-rate housing but we want to bring the benefits like discounted lifeline types of services on the ferry transit and ac transit right now those modes don't offer a lifeline for the residents even if below-market-rate housing that brings me to one of the major areas of feedback we've heard as we've been doing the

planning over the last few years affordability as of last july we recommended taking an approach that is describing here in the slide of affordability program that will benefit resident in the current and future of the below-market-rate housing as well as what we're calling the long term residents residents that have been on the 0i8d before the agreement was signed and those are folks that have not opt outed into this to remove you know the to the island making that choice if the island is the right place to locate a number of benefits we recommend for those below-market-rate housing residents regardless of what mode the households uses preliminary that was a what will include the lifeline ferry on the services not oh, the

lifeline fair today and a successful program used by la metaphor their express lane they offer a qualifying household a trans ponder that has an initial balance on the accounts and then also provides toll credits for frequent transit use so that's the some of the background and the basics of the transportation plan now i'll describe some of the work that we expect to bring before the committee over the next few quarters this summer we expect to be able to bring before you some of the agreements policy agreements with the different transit operators that were will eventually provide services those agreements will are lay auto the

principle of the service that the operators are going to agree to provide and how we'll do business with the ac transit the water ferry and sfmta will provide the parking management services on treasure island and the bay area toll authority we'll work with to provide services on the customer back end guide of toll component of the program but we'll have policy agreements with any potential revenue cost sharing that is applicable we also expect to bring before you an update on the next vendor that we'll seek which is basically the final design the software and the double design the final design that vendor is the system

integrate our. >> this of all the actions we might bring before you the next steps in some of the agreements one we have policy agreements in place with our operators some of the next steps include agreements to go ahead and procure vessels in the case of transit vehicle two years for vehicles that is part of a why we've been working hard this year on understanding a funding retail use for the protect and clean fuels for ac and bring to you the agreement for to procure those and bring to you recommendations regarding the transit path that i mentioned and also regarding our approach to monitoring and murray the performance of the overall program we need to build the

performance metric and monitoring requirements into the design of this system so that moves in parallel with your award of a contract to the system sgrar our the final designer i'm told and for me there is a supplemental environmental documentation we'll bring before you our team it looking what is required for ceqa documentation and because we anticipate that we'll have federal funds need the documents for the transportation program work areas that are underway the porter the governance work area the funding opportunities whether it is rm-2 about the umu between in program and bridge

congestion is strong there is opportunities there for the potential regional measure to support the ferry transportation clean initiative and clean vessels and vessels and other needs and also i want to highlight our discussions with the bayview toll authority have the authority to bring this approach to the bridge they have not experienced but that is an area we and are working with them on to sort out the goals and responsibilities revenue and cost sharing and we'll eventually bring to you an agreement with them that makes recommendations in that regard. >> and the engineering front i mentioned some of those already

the supplemental documentations, the business requirements and the details design work we'll seek a vendor for over the coming couple of quarters and then in the planning area the circles here highlighting the components of the plan that we're doing further design over the next 6 months so the shutter the transit path and the parking management that mta is leading the development but bring you and the program affordability design we are asking people as we go the response on that front we're asking folks about their needs and travel patterns a survey we go to the treasure island community meeting basically quarterly and tomorrow is an example where we're going to the shipshape to talk with folks and get information about

that this slide a road map showing activities if takes to launch between today and 2020 january 2020 the launch date and the milestones ultimately this committee will consider. >> thank you very much happy to take your questions. >> thank you, ms. hostility one quick question to our supporting services just as what was finally you put a photo i want to verify the shuttle program can you explain where that is headed and the solution for treasure island. >> so the charge i do not i should hahave maybe - i've hea

express interest to solve the particular problems with school or transportations or some of the nonprofits have programming off island they're interested in, you know, vanderpool on and off we partnered with the ac and tida to seek cap & trade funding for off and on islands a public-private partnership nonprofit partnering so that is what the meant there no a specific chariot proposal. >> thank you commenting i wanted to build an rachel's response chariot is considered in terms of bringing that to the regulatory program for the 14ur89 serviced but the point we wanted excellent and robust

service the 25 line is well-used and also is crowded even though we've added service the challenge muni is off our program where we're responsible for the services muni it are not only for budgeting for the neighborhood as it is for every single neighborhood in the city we can't buy quote/unquote muni service but continue to platoon with sfmta and advocate for more muni service to treasure island but summer commenting we were talking about the meeting a frequency for the ferry versus adding more muni service and this neighborhood should continue to fund all the services through this program versus potentially seeking supplemental funding if the general fund i'm sorry from the muni part of it. >> by the way, i really appreciate would love talking more about a public-private

partnership on a shuttle on and off the island i'm not sure what the chariot is thank you very much i don't any oh, commissioner tang. >> i was thrilled our shooting for zero emission bus potentially and wondering i certainly working on this for our city fleet and the private sector we hear there not a product out there available in the market for whether it is trucks suv's i'm not sure i'm curious where your i mean an availability on the market for zero emission vehicles are there a bus. >> ac transit is increasing the share of their fleet that is vision zero this is something they're interested in at the beginning for them too though so that if e some of the challenges are they procure buses in sort

of cycles and they don't have enough vision zero fleet existing today where they have that kick he will vehicle procurement more work to develop the scope at the specification for that and to make sure that the timing is aligned in the most cost effective way to get the manufacturers and a cost increment that we need to seek funding to cover so certainly are vehicles available buses that is from the bus side that occ transit has in mind it is just because they're even at the beginning of incorporating those types of vehicles into their fleet not the pathway is not set up to bring them in as for vegetational vehicle. >> we don't have challenges

let's say going up and down hills those are some of the things we've heard about it thank you do that with the mta. >> right yeah. no that is an issue yes and so ac transit the route that ac transit will use for this service does if involve a grade they considerable problematic the grade is absent issue that route didn't face that issue. >> right i'm glad our thinking about the zero emission recks and have shorting transportation it clean on and off the island so thank you. >> seeing more further questions or comments from the committee members at this time open up for public comment on item 4 seeing none, public comment is closed. mr. clerk, call item 5 and 6

together. >> sure. >> item point opening for the san francisco-oakland bay bridge bicycle and pedestrian touchdown - information presentation. >> the san francisco-oakland bay bridge west span bicycle and pedestrian project - information. >> items. >> hi i know those are two separate items but both on site. >> sure good morning deputy director and happy to report on the yerba buena island this is a point of construction we're completing right now i have a quick slide show and have peter lee to handle item 6. >> a little bit of history caltrans opened the bike pedestrian span on october from the basic site we opened do westbound on and off-ramps and implemented traffic calming

overlooks and currently the bike pesticide facility is open on the weekends the reason that caltrans that a lot of demolition work with the bridge and wanted to make sure they took all precautions the plan is changing they've increased the hours abuse of dawn to department of justice but now this sketch didn't had had justice in terms of that of of what we're this from the east bay on bike go ahead and land on the caltrans landing area that is an orange at the end of the orange and precede across to what is called the quarters 9 coast guard area we have a licensed architectural with the coast guard and what we're

building is a muni park building some bike racks and hydration stations as well as and everything is temporary restrooms and benches so folks can come there and have a seat and enjoy themselves there in a very appealing area in terms of taking the photos of bay bridge the thought process we'd like on the vista point the same type the bike pesticides are open and cooperating with the tema timma it is important to recognize that is part of the project we're building so our construction is building the facility and it is funded approximately $2 million of funding by the bay area bata.

>> i want to talk about the fact it treasure island and yerba buena island are basically a construction zone for the next two years as part of the development many of the hours the first order of work for road widening and infrastructure work associated with the development heavy truck traffic a lot of road closures temporary detours at times in place there be no pedestrian facilities frankly to get from the mountaintop i call that yerba buena island to treasure island right now so it is important that people recognize that and what we have done is part of the bike pesticide facility to set up a temporary shuttle that is what people use on the weekends quickly everything that is

colored in green, blue red, orange and blue all of the work will be ongoing for the next two years we'll being transportation authority the development team is going to be reconstructing the cal road that is right now the major one the major points if the well-being on ramp shown in red those roads will be under construction i'll bringing this to light for he everybody to understand at one point in time for the next two years all the traffic come to and from the western part this is hillcrest road that is narrow it is some grades that are not too bad i wanted to highlight it is

important for people to recognize we have no pedestrian kaupg but we have - trying to make sure that invokes are slowing down along the roadway and recognize it is open to bicyclists there's the term no pain no gain we're going to be in pain for a couple of years but everything you see in gray is after two years in the summer of 2019 and the new bike facility you'll take a bike back and forth to the east bay and to the touchdown on the caltrans underneath the bay bridge and traffic verse on the road with a class one facility in red for everyone to recognize we have a project in the future to construction that is the west side bridges that is federal and

state funded and plan to start that work in the early or summer part of r6d that will take a year and a half to complete looking ahead 5 years of construction that are critical to the effort in rebuilding the island that concludes my presentation. we're excited about the opening on may 2nd and if you have any questions on vista point embed and let me know right now otherwise bring peter lee from mtc all right. >> i'm excited for the celebration. >> me, too. >> good morning, commissioners i'm peter lee with the bay area toll authority and the management for the west end bicycles halfway we've been

working on that phase one and currently not in a preliminary phase of engineering and vital documents not having enough fund to loot the design of this project we're going for the ethics commission for the engineering on the project as well as evaluating environmental needs the phase one to see the 10 to 15 percent engineering plan and peel back the bridge and evaluate the impediments to the project depending on the funding at this point walk you through through the period of alternatives that we've been looking at so our focus is preliminarily been to get from

the new ban on right-hand side of the staple over to san francisco which is on the left the red line on top is the north alignment on the connection on the bridge that are cost drivers are fairly dependent we've put a lot on the approaches as their change on the north side or south side of the bridge. >> in san francisco if we're on the south side excuse me - on the north side of the bridge we'll follow with the upper deck with rincon hill and removing tower on the bottom of page loop around follow the fremont off-ramp and close to ethic streets past harrison come down to the ethic street area i think the current plan to take back some of the streets for parking

areas to tie into that we've have a lot of conversation with the city staff and the sfmta on various alignments i think that is the alignment that ties in and gives great excess to the harrison street back to embarcadero and say an option to put an elevator for the embarcadero area with the right-of-way and have high speed elevators to the bike path on the south side what we'll do is go basically follow did harrison street off-ramp it is kind of challenging to see in this picture but the level underneath the upper level off-ramp we'll get around that building it is currently into be off the bryant and beal where the dog park is and certainly

challenges but a good trip and we'll have right-of-way issues with the owner but talked about that a little bit they're supportive on the main span for the structural options to connect the bike path into the bridge the path we're considering is a steel pathway 15 and a half feet wide similar to east band we have had challenges with connection as well as a.d. the steel to the bridge adding 5 to 10 percent loading load 0 on the bridge that will cause the bridge to sag we have issues with the coast guard they bring large ships to the west ban the shipping channel into the bay of oakland they have a challenge in the bridge sags more than it is

we'll have to seek additional permits or find solutions to raise the bridge. >> the next incidental is just some simulations how the path will look from the upper deck and on the upper deck is better for the security stand point for drivers and others on the pathway but that gives us a sense of what the pathway will look like we'll probably widen out towards the 24 hours for a place to stop and do in the course of this trial treatment on the path with the estoban to help to segregate the pedestrians and you bicyclists on the pathway on yerba buena island for the landing a lot of conversation with u.s. coast guard and have active facilities on the raise your hand and tida and the to tie ourselves into

the plan that i showed earlier i don't think any of us need to protect the corners 9 d.c. on the networking that are blurry their active the coast guard homes for maneuvers as well as we need to - on the north side getting over the bay bridge we will have to build a new structure in front of the tunnel that will carry you over to the traffic and tieback into the bay bridge on the north side and then on the south side we will just do a hillside that runs along the side of the hill generally speaking when we

talked to a number of a lot of - we had outreaches for the general purpose of north side that bring in the challenge of cross over the tunnel but nicole we'll happy to answer questions we're in the cue to have conversation with the funding is the primary driver our estimates that in expose of $3 million and you know certainly seek the refunding likes everyone else and that is just part of that cue that discussion at the mta and data. >> mr. lee thank you for the presentation that is important for us it is far away i'm excited about the proposed bike lane on the western part to bike that with the eastern pan the

bridge i have a few questions the estimated cost of this is $300 million. >> in expose of $300 million probably we're still working on the expose no longer than three hundred 3 if not higher and significantly higher. >> it could be the metrics are the barrier on the acreage that project is under 50 and we're twice that length into the length of the bay bridge that is one hundred and fifty with the suicide barrier like a ball park we're in the order of three to $400 million what you saw on the pictures there. >> uh-huh. >> well, i guess that begs the

question a little bit over - so i think a bike lane would be great not just a continuing connection if the eastern span to the western span unto the treasure island resident population of which will grow and ultimate form of transit but i guess hearing that the cost will maybe significantly in expose of $300 million has they've been a cost analysis estimation for the increased ferry services plus service i want to make sure that - as much as i want the be available but why spending public dollars. >> (multiple voices). >> as we go to the environmental process we'll looking at look at those the task i had in the initial phase is he getting us primarily from the estoban to to we haven't

done that analysis to make those traffics perhaps if you want to call them that for business and ferries but i don't think the west is part of this action plan. >> hopefully provide much better assess. >> i mean, i ask that because primarily hopefully for san francisco residents that we consider that i really want this bike lane but i want to make sure that three hundred significantly in excess of $300 million will increase muni transit and ferry service and make sure we make the right investment for you know transportation alternatives for treasure island and the one final note i'll make and i'm not an engineer or anything like that but i was concerned about the wind uh-huh. >> if the bike lane is on i

guess the northern side of the bridge i know that with driving on the bridge that is windy for a car i'm wondering if it may discourage the bikers. >> stripping we've done a wind analysis and shows to be i believe it is better on the north side. >> oh, okay. >> i mean depending on what direction you're coming from the worse case from the south. >> okay. >> but they'll both have challenges. >> got it. >> eventually. >> thank you mr. lee and commissioner ronen. >> to follow up on ken's question i couldn't agree more it is exciting having a bike lane do having you have an estimate of users based on the eastern span of the bike lane that we could expect will use this facility amongst

transportation. >> i don't have the model but you wouldn't want to use the estoban numbers currently because one recently opened the limited access is treasure island so or yerba buena island so we'll modeling we have models and i don't try to put each into those numbers if we get levels adding up. >> got it. >> i would echo commissioner kim has we move forward more information to allow us to make that cost benefit analysis the better thank you. >> thank you mr. lee at this time open up for public comment on items 5 and 6 seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you mr. lee for coming here from mtc to present on this item

mr. clerk, call the next item, please. >> item 7 introduction of new items. >> commissioners any introduction of new items seeing none, open up for public comment on item no. 7. >> seeing none, public comment is closed. we've move on to the next 8. >> general public comment. >> great. >> good morning, commissioners andrew yip human nature is - the word influence diverse towards the process is of recovery to ones good nature with intelligence and other things the president and the national leaders are the coloration to operate once you seek aspire understanding and the principles should support
